Force Android Market to re-download apps

Had a problem with recently purchase phone. Phone was replaced and new phone reregestered. Everything works but I can't figure out how to get App Market to install apps on new phone.

Anyone know a way to force it.
 
You have to sign in with your Google account, then in the market touch the menu button and go to "my apps". You can download new apps fine?
 
I know I can download 'new' apps.

Anyone know how to get the 'existing' apps [those in my market account before I replaced phone] to 'reload' on the replacement phone.
 
As long as you signed in with the same google account, they should be able to be re-installed without paying for them again.
 
If you're referring to your free apps, depending on what version of android you had on your phone and if you had the backup option enabled, you may not get those back automatically.
